This past weekend was mine and Dan's 6 year anniversary weekend. It had been an extremely long time since I had seen him (not since my hip replacement). This would be the first time he had seen me walk and how well I am doing. We had plans to go to see a concert in Atlantic City, then drive over to see some friends in NY that we would have seen at the wedding. A jam packed weekend!!
We ended up leaving around 12 on Friday for Atlantic City to see Paramore. The drive didn't take too long, about 3 1/2 hours. When we got to our hotel there was a little confusion about the reservation....but it eventually got settled. We didn't have much time until the show so we grabbed a quick bite in the Trump Taj Mahal before the show. The whole concert was general admission so we wanted to make sure we got a good seat.....turned out every seat at this venue was a great seat. We had bleacher seats and sat in the front row, behind general admission standing!!! The concert was amazing!!!! I would definately suggest getting out and seeing Paramore. It is funny because we didn't know who was opening for them and it ended up to be such a treat. Relient K opened up for them.....I had been listening to them all week on Pandora, it was a little 2 for 1 deal!!
We didn't gamble much in Atlantic City due to the fact that we are both a little broke. I did however triple my $5 in the penny slots and cashed out....always a winner. My winnings were spent on our late night soft pretzel after the concert. On our walk back to the hotel there was a dance party on the board walk that started with a wandering man dancing to the music who was then joined by a group of girls walking by. This no doubt, made his night!!!
Saturday was an early morning, we were going to meet our friends to take a 12:00 train into New York City. We made it just in time. It was pretty great weather on Saturday!! We walked around the city with a general idea of where we wanted to go. I love the city and have been there a good amount of times. Dan however, had never been to the city.
We walked to:
Bryant Park
Rockefellar Center
Radio City Music Hall
5th Avenue
We almost went to Times Square but we had hit our wall. This was also the same night they found the car bomb in Times Square. We were out of the city about an hour before they found the bomb.....but it is still a little crazy to think about.
We came back to our friends house and went out for great drinks, company, and food. It was really nice to see them again. I hadn't seen them in about 2 years. It is great to see how they and their lives have changed since their baby has come along!! Sunday was Rian's baptism. It was a beautiful service and I was extremely happy to be a part of it. We had a cookout yesterday afternoon and enjoyed the beautiful day.
But sadly.....the weekend always comes to an end. Our drive back from NY last night took about 6 hours and we were exhausted by the time we got home.....especially because I knew I had to get up early to take Dan to the airport for his 7:00 am flight. Luckily I am a morning person and this really isn't a big deal.....but between driving in the dark, the rain, and not having much sleep....it was a tiring trip. I came home and took a long nap before driving back to school.
School is almost over. I only have a couple more assignments to finish, I could not be more ready. Dan will fly back out for my scans in the end of May; which will also be the weekend we were supposed to be getting married...typical.
Happy six years! :)
